Now that is a tough question to answer since in antiques and collectables an item is worth whatever you are willing to pay for it. And age, condition and rarity play an important part in an items value. If you can identify the lantern by type, color, manufacturer, age and condition you could probably get information on it from collectables books at your local library.

Or maybe post a picture here and see if anyone recognizes it. Mine is about 7.5 inches tall and says EMBURY NO. 40 on the glass but has no other markings that I can see. I have no idea if it is worth 5.00 or 500.00. But I do know it is a great dust collector ;~)
